Local Kubernetes Development Using Minikube and Redis Enterprise

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system used for deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications. Minikube is a tool that allows users to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster on their local machine. This blog post demonstrates the steps needed to set up Minikube and run a 3-node Redis Enterprise cluster on a laptop using the homebrew package manager. The process involves installing Minikube, starting the cluster with specific memory and disk size parameters, verifying the installation, deploying the Redis Enterprise service in Minikube, and setting up the Redis Enterprise cluster as a master node. Finally, the blog post explains how to create a database on the master node using the Rest API of Redis Enterprise and access the dashboard through a secure tunnel.
